When the world is falling apart
And you can’t see the way out
All you feel is agony in your heart
You can’t even cry or shout
Take my hand I’ll show you around
There’s this new place you go to escape
It’s nothing like your old home town
I tell you now you will love this place
The pain in your heart will ceas
Your mind will be cleared of strain
Though the pain on your body will increase
But your heart and soul will be free of pain
Watch me, I’ll show something you’ll understand
See the tan colors turn to red; proof of life
Step into the dark; give me your hand
Stop telling yourself all the lies and take the knife
Don’t worry darlin’ there’s no harm
It’s just a little blood, not even that deep
It’ll heal in time leaving a white scar on your arm
I promise you will not fall into your eternal sleep
So let this blade take away your misery
It will ease your pain; sooth your anger
Let this be your sweet, sweet victory
And let yourself take hold of this dagger
Let the darkness take hold:
Let it seep into your soul:
Let it make your fire die in the cold;
Rip you apart then make you whole
